It’s about the best net you can buy. Great shape to minimize bulk when bushwhacking.

Amazing net!!!!! Spendy - however amazing with fantastic color. My good luck charm now. First time out I landed a 22 inch Kokanee. Not a Sockeye. A Kokanee!! Wall hanger. This net is the BEST. The extra reach is great as well.

Simply the best bet I’ve ever owned for trout fishing. Big enough to handle a big fish, light weight enough to not bother your back, and comfortable in the hand.

When I first purchased this I thought it was too heavy. Then I slipped it into my sling pack and it’s plenty comfortable and Is light. The net looks great and preforms even better. The extra reach of the handle makes solo netting fish much easier or from a boat. The deep basket is awesome, I’ve put fish up to 25” into there and it’s been no problem. The tape on the net handle is probably my favorite part for a quick reference to the size of my fish.

This is my second Nomad Emerger, and the only reason it's my second one is because my last one fell out of my wading belt while I was fighting a large rainbow trout, which I had to grab like a bass. It floated away and is probably in the Gulf of Mexico now. Always been a fan of this net, the extra reach is helpful, will work in a boat, or when you are trying to net a fish for a buddy. If you do get into some truly large fish, the depth of the net captures them. I've had multiple two foot trout in there. Often times I've used this net as a big of a hiking stick when coming up steep banks, and yes, it's strong enough to do that. It IS expensive, but in my opinion worth the price. I think this is a net you could use for 5+ fishing seasons without repair.

Best fishing net I’ve ever used and probably the last one I’ll ever need! Amazing quality by the Fishpond folks! Lightweight, durable and it floats! Couple this with the confluence net release and it’s a perfect match! Some think it’s pricey but I feel it’s the best net for the money and I know I’ll have this the rest of my life on the rivers! Absolutely worth every dollar!!

Started with a cheap wood frame - nylon mesh net when I first started fly fishing, moved on to a wood frame plastic net and then "graduated" to the Fishpond net when the wood one finally gave out. Had several friends who had the shorter version of this same net (Nomad hand net) and they recommended the Emerger - it's a little more expensive ($20 or so) but the extra length is perfect for the fly fishing I do - wading in streams in NC mountains for trout (especially as I get older and getting down those last few inches to net a fish gets harder - or is it getting back up from those last few inches?!). The extra length works well for me for netting fish close in, and I find it is a great length to clip to either my waist or my backpack without dragging in the river or brush. Seems very well made and much lighter than my wooden version. Holes in net are also smaller at the bottom than my old net which I like (I had a few smaller fish wriggle through those which made getting them off the hook and released quickly an added burden - along with untangling the live after) and it looks like it is an easy switch out should the net wear out - although, it seems well enough made it'll last several seasons before needing it (I probably fish 10-15 times in fall and same again in spring).Overall, very pleased with it, light, well made and well thought out product (in terms of size of basket, net, length etc). My only real concern was with losing it - which is why I also bought a locking caribenar for both ends of the magnetic net attachment I use. Worth the money, wish I'd invested and bought one earlier on in my fly fishing life....
